Dancing

Still trying to organize all my photos and find myself getting slowed down by thinking of different ways to present my shots. This is 3 separate photos that just seemed to fit together.

I came across a blog post by Jay Goodrich on the Outdoor Photographer blog that really came at a time where I've been struggling to figure out the direction I want to go in. The blog post title says it all...Developing Vision and Style and it is a good read.

So...I'm going to do my best to stop worrying about what other think of my vision and style and work hard on refining my own personal vision and style to suit my creative self.

About Me

I've dabbled with many different art mediums over the years and always felt drawn to photography over the others. I was always frustrated with my attempts at film photography so it wasn't until my 40th b-day when my wife and my parents went in on a DSLR for me did I really get into it.

It took doing a 365 Project in 2009 for me to find my creative side. I took over 17,000 photos in that year and posted at least one a day to my photoblog. To make myself learn how to take a better photo I decided to not use Photoshop or any other editing system the entire year. I felt that I relied far to much on Photoshop and spent more time fixing photos than taking them. I concluded the year shooting full manual and learned to see in ways I never would have otherwise.
